Go Linter does not work with WSL #71

I get a go linter running error when using files access from WSL2 over the network share it exposes. The tool works fine for go projects on the windows filesystem.

Thanks @jaisingh , I guess it's a path issue, will setup a WSL2 env ASAP to test it, might take a few days.

Hi @jaisingh , I've done deep research, but sadly the plugin is not able to support WSL2 UNC path. It's actually limited by the go binary, related issues: golang/go#37461 microsoft/WSL#5762

In short, WSL2 is using 9P protocol to support file share between Linux and the host Windows. Problem is the 9P protocol doesn't support LockFileEx syscall and Go team refuses to support such case as Rust does. Mapping WSL2 to a driver would not help.

I'm closing this until WSL2 is supported by Go.
